[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

This morning on The Morning Mash Up on Hits 1, they said XM was coming back on DirecTV January 20th!!! I'm so happy!! Hope this isn't old news to you guys if so I'm sorry. I didn't see it anywhere

Thanks and good to hear and maybe they will add all the channels with all the satellites but I bet they do what Dish has

Someone posted this back in August but it was just from a wiki.

Didn't carry much weight as to believing it at that time.

That said, it would be a positive change, I've carried XM for years and always liked having the consistency, haven't used Sonic much since the change but didn't care for it much when I did try it.

Here's to hoping it happens

Same here .... used XM all the time, don't use Sonic at all.

Since they said it on the air it's 100% going to happen Jan 20th

Hopefully they put MLB Network (radio side) on it again.

Great way to start the new year!

Wow ! Great, thanks for the info!!

I sent a couple feelers out on this and nobody at Directv could confirm, may not mean anything but just tossing it out there.
I would feel better about it with more than just a DJ mention, and just one that we've Eem posted at that.

According to Satelliteracer at dbstalk, he said he wasn't aware of it.

not to burst any bubbles..but the Sirius/Directv rumour has been around 2-3 years and usually starts on a wikipedia web page..but on the otherhand Liberty Media now controls Sirius/XM so it is a real possibility

Does it really matter? How many people actually listen to music channels through their tv provider?

I listen to a couple of music channels. They're not bad, but Sirius/XM was better than Sonic Choice.

I do once in a while if there is nothing on and I'm puttering around in the house

i hope we it, but i doubt it

Hopefully they put MLB Network (radio side) on it again.

The other guys don't get any of the "talk" channels so there's not much of a precedence for what you're hoping for.

Of course they'll probably park some of the channels at 119W like they're doing now (assuming they don't compress what's left of the satellite feeds to fit it all on 101W).

I'd listen if they added Dirty Dog or Howard ...

This would be awesome as we are swapping from DISH to Directv today. The SiriusXM channels were going to be missed with the switch.
